that might give a mix of old and new names, where half the references is 
not available any more.
Doing something like this I would replace EVERY occurence of the original 
extkey with the new one.

the other problem might be the new extension key itself:
tt_freiraum is not in the regular namespace
either use user_... for local extensions or tx_... for public.

keep attention to the special behavior of tt_...-extensions as they are 
remains of the first versions of TYPO3. I don't know exactly wether this 
happens in the newest TYPO3-versions, but I remember some mentions about 
special handling of these extensions in core.
I don't think your extension is known to the core.
You might change the behaviour of your extension to that of 'normal' 
extensions (like created with kickstarter)
